Escola infantil e fundamental inspirada na pedagogia Montessori

Abstract

This work aims to present the theoretical foundation, the creative process, and the design development of a public elementary and middle school inspired by the principles of Montessori pedagogy. The project seeks to establish a relationship between architecture and education through an approach that values the autonomy, individuality, and protagonism of the child in the learning process, comprehending the school as an active element in the children’s formation and development. In order to formulate the basis of the work, studies were conducted focusing on contextualizing the theme, forming a diagnostic for the intervention area, and defining the architectural and pedagogical guidelines that guide the project. It becomes evident from an analysis of the educational context of Goiânia that there is a lack of institutions that adopt alternative methodologies to the traditional teaching model. Thus, the project proposes a safe, inclusive, accessible school environment integrated with nature, offering spaces focused on pedagogical, artistic, cultural, and sensory development. The proposal seeks to associate the principles of the Montessori methodology with the Brazilian curriculum, promoting the cognitive, academic, social, and personal development of students, understanding architecture as an instrument capable of contributing to the formation of conscious, autonomous, and integrated individuals.
